The Aston Martin CC100 Speedster Concept made its world debut today by lapping the Nordschleife at Germany’s ADAC Zurich 24 Hours of Nürburgring race. Built to celebrate a century of Aston Martin sports cars, the CC100 Speedster concept’s shape is inspired by the race-winning 1959 DBR1 as well as hinting at Aston Martin’s possible future design direction.

With Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez behind the wheel, the CC100 Speedster concept will lap the famous track alongside British racing legend Sir Stirling Moss in a 1959 DBR1. Below, we’ve included a video with footage of a 1959 DBR1 at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The CC100 Speedster was designed and built at the automaker’s headquarters in Gaydon in less than six months. The carbon fiber-intensive CC100 Speedster concept is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V-12 that’s mated to a six-speed transmission with steering column-mounted paddle shifters. While no power or weight specs were revealed, the automaker claims the CC100 Speedster concept will reach 60 mph in 4.0 seconds and is speed limited to 180 mph.

Earlier this year, Aston Martin kicked off its 100-year anniversary celebration with a bespoke Centenary Edition Vanquish as well as 100 examples each of the Centenary Edition V8 Vantage, DB9, Rapide, and Vanquish. Each special-edition Aston Martin will feature a graduated paint finish unique to each model’s body lines and solid sterling silver Aston Martin wing badges with an enamel inlay.
